2010 varsity Panthers may be headed for breakout year

In 2008, the Cumberland Panthers junior varsity team reached the championship game only to be upended by the Mississauga Warriors. Two years later, many of the players from that quality club are now at the senior level and looking to take that team forward from a .500 season in 2009. Last year’s top receiver only [...]

Myers Riders 2010 varsity team looking loaded

If one positive can be drawn for Myers’ game being cancelled last night, it’s that it provides more time for a roster review.  I had meant to look it over during the week but building towards the Invaders home opener ate up a fair amount of my time. Giving it a glance (and much gratitude [...]

“A real game-changer”

It was announced a little while back that Ottawa Sooners offensive tackle Alex Mateas had committed to Penn State University. The news came up fairly frequently online on recruiting and fansites, usually questioning  the wisdom of giving some Canadian guy a scholarship.  How good could he be,right?  What more evidence do you need than the [...]

Invaders pre-season all-stars (sort of)

I sometimes neglect to mention the Invaders here because I am responsible for updating their website.  Once that is updated, it feels like the work is done and I forget to do the same here. But here’s something that is probably more appropriate to this site than the Invaders one.  It was inspired by a [...]

Locals in NCAA

In light of recent news regarding players from the Ottawa region in NCAA programs, including Alex Mateas (Sooners) committing to Penn State and Scott Mitchell being named to a preseason all-conference team, the Ottawa Region Amateurs page has been split in two. When it was first built, there were only about four guys playing in [...]

Jeff Veinotte on High School Sports Zone

This clip is several months old, but I’ve only now located it while, oddly enough, trying to find more information on Sooners left tackle AlexMateas’ commitment to Penn State.  It covers several aspects of Veinotte’s career to this point with several high quality highlights segments.

Ottawa Sooners 25th Anniversary Team

If you’ve been involved in amateur football for any length of time, or a fan of it, you’ll wonder why a 25th anniverary team is being posted for a club that began play in 1960.

Nice idea, Earl!

No doubt the Glebe Community Association would complain about the reflection of the sun on these, but I like the idea.  Read on below: Give me your suggestions. Mine are: Tony Gabriel, Russ Jackson, Brian Kilrea, and Frank Nighbor. If the Boston Bruins can do it for Bobby Orr, we should be doing it for [...]

Doucet gets pwned!!!1 ROFL!!!1

The Lansdowne Live saga has had little play here of late because posting every bit of nonsense to come out of the Glebe Community Association, councillor Clive Doucet and/or Carleton prof Ian Lee would be a full-time job in and of itself. Sometimes I can’t help myself though, such as when some GCA wingnut expressed [...]
